The most luminous supernovae
A Gal-Yam - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Over a decade ago, a group of supernova explosions with peak luminosities far exceeding
(often by> 100 times) those of normal events has been identified. These superluminous …

The Observer's Guide to the Gamma‐Ray Burst Supernova Connection
We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts
(GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places …

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black-hole mergers and
they should also be detectable from lower-mass neutron-star mergers. These are predicted …
